In a spellbinding new Highlands story from New York Times best-selling author Lynsay Sands, the laird of the Buchanans finds the one woman who is his equal in passion and courage.

Aulay Buchanan has retreated to his clan’s hunting lodge for a few days of relaxation. But the raven-haired beauty he pulls from the ocean puts an end to any chance of rest. Though he christens her Jetta, she knows nothing of her real identity, save that someone is trying to kill her. As she recovers, it will not be easy for Aulay to protect her and keep her honor intact when she mistakenly believes they are man and wife…

Jetta sees beyond Aulay’s scars to the brave, loyal warrior she’s proud to call her own. But as the attempts on her life grow more brazen, Jetta realizes that not all is as she believes. And if Aulay is not her husband, can she trust the desire flaring in his eyes, or his promise to defend her with his life?

The story of each brother is very enjoyable, and for me Aulay's story is endearing. The connection between him and Jetta is great to his surprise from the very beginning. This book will not disappoint. You will be taken on a sensual, emotional and suspenseful ride. LS does it again.

I’ve been waiting for Aulay’s story since Book 2 where we were first introduced to the Buchanan brothers and their sister Saidh.

I can’t decide if my favourite this far is Book 1, Ross & Anabelle’s story, or this one with Aulay and Jetta.

While Jetta doesn’t have much of a personality and is a somewhat tepid MFC, Aulay is the one that carries this story with his nobel chivalry and heartwarming care of a woman he fished from the sea on the anniversary of his father and twin brother’s deaths in the battle that left him disfigured and scarred.

The woman doesn’t have any memory of who she is or where she is from. Aulay names her Jetta for her long, black hair. Jetta mistakenly believes Aulay is her husband which causes some rather fun interactions as Aulay tries to prevent any marital relationship and wishes for her to know the truth so he can ask her to marry him even as he doesn’t know who she really is.

There is plenty of intrigue as someone is attempting to kill Jetta. No one knows who or why and solving the riddle is made more difficult because she has no memory of how she came to be tied to a ship’s mast and floating in the ocean.

Saidh’s loaf & carrot pre-wedding night instruction to Murine makes a reprise and is, if anything, funnier than the original as Murine is doing the telling of it.

We learn that Saidh & Greer (she was fit to burst in Niels & Edith’s story) did, indeed, have triplets….girls!

If there is one word to describe the characters in this book it would be any and every iteration of the word ‘grimace’ as this seems to be the author’s favourite description of their facial expressions. The word is used too much. There are OTHER words that would convey the same facial expression. It truly became an irritant as I listened to the audiobook especially.

The audiobook was passably well with only a few annoying detractors. In addition to the overuse of the word ‘grimace’ and its many iterations, the narrator’s voicing the word ‘What?’ when spoken by Aulay makes him sound like he’s one of those guys who’s all brawn and no brain.

The author also continues to use modern terminology and colloquialisms throughout her writing which simply don’t apply to the time period in which the stories take place.

I did not like the narrator. The accent felt forced and the voices of some of the characters were grating to the ears.

The uncomfortable narration

struggled with the reader as the Scottish accent was quite thick...saying that, it made it very authentic as well

Intrigue...

read in one 24 HR period. interesting twists to plot although seems like author was in a hurry to finish it by giving the whole story in the sisters confession near the end.

good read sexy in just the right amount

I love l sands but she seems a bit too fixated on head wounds, also the narrator's attempt at a woman's voice is painful, and the men are as bad.. all sound very dumb! Good story , far from a fave for me though i wouldn't use a credit on it if i had known how much i would want it to he over

Terrible narration

This story is so well written that you want it to keep going. The characters are so real. Lynda knows how to keep you so interested that you can't stop listening or put the book down.

Wonderful love story
